A man went to Jeddah and then wanted to perform 'Umrah; from where should he enter the state of ihram?

The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I came to the city of Jeddah with the intention of performing 'Umrah. Between the two options, if things went well, I would perform 'Umrah, and if they did not go well, I would not perform 'Umrah. So, praise be to Allah, things went well. Do I enter the state of ihram from Jeddah itself, or from the miqat? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : Where is the questioner? Is so-and-so in a difficult situation such that he is asking, or has he finished and is asking? What I understand from the question is that he has not entered the state of ihram and that he is still in Jeddah. But this does not concern us; what concerns us is knowing the ruling. This man came to Jeddah for work and said, "If it is facilitated for me, I will come for 'Umrah, and if it is not facilitated, I will return."
It was facilitated for him in Jeddah. Do we say, "It is obligatory for you to go to the miqat," or do we say, "Enter the state of ihram from Jeddah"? The answer is that we say, "Enter the state of ihram from Jeddah," because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated the miqats, he said, "Whoever is beyond that, let him enter the state of ihram from where he started." Jeddah, with respect to those who come from the direction of Madinah, is beyond the miqats and not behind them? Behind them are those who come from Madinah. Is Jeddah beyond the miqats or behind them? It is beyond them. Those who come from the direction of Sham, are they far beyond the miqats, or also beyond them? Yes. Those who come from Sudan, they reach Jeddah before they align with the miqat. And on this basis, they enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. If they come from Suquna and do not align with it, they enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. Good.
The answer now, listen to me. We say to this man, "As long as you did not resolve to perform 'Umrah, and you said, 'If it is facilitated for me, I will perform 'Umrah, otherwise I will not,' and then it was facilitated for you while you were in Jeddah, enter the state of ihram from Jeddah." Who enters the state of ihram? I mean, from Jeddah. The evidence is in the hadith: Yes. May Allah accept from you.
